Akina13 Posted July 17, 2021 #354 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Because we booked our hotel last minute we ended up staying at margaritville. Super nice hotel but a bit pricey. Here are some pics of the condo we got upgraded to as the hotel side isn’t open yet. It’s amazing! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akina13 Posted July 17, 2021 #355 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Drinks at the JW last night. Happy hour was 2 for the price of 1 (at $17/drink) so I was happy to hear that! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted July 17, 2021 #356 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Wow @Akina13, that's some pretty swanky accommodations. Makes you feel like you're pre-gaming for a suite on that cruise. Fingers crossed for a smooth boarding process for all of you, and a beverage in your hand well before sail away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pcr test was rejected because it was outside the 5 days of boarding the ship. I mistakenly thought it had to be 5 days or less from arriving in the country. So, I had to take a rapid antigen test ,(no biggie). I'm still at the Hilton awaiting my rapid antigen test result. Save a bar stool at the Spinnaker for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save a bar stool at the Spinnaker for me. this little piece of information is very important to me, so thanks for sharing. I will be on the adventure on 8/21 with a party of 7, but we will be staying for a week in Nassau before the cruise. I am reading the PCR requirements 5 days before going to the Bahamas but it seems like they mean 5 days before cruising. A local PCR test for all of us will run close to $1,000, so I will do that PCR test in the States and if they require a rapid antigen test, I am cool with that. My kids need that anyway. enjoy your cruise all! Edited July 17, 2021 by exm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What day did you have your original test? I don't think you were mistaken... the Royal Caribbean website clearly states that it's 5 days before arriving in the Bahamas. TestingAs a requirement to board the ship, all guests age 2 and older will need to take a PCR test for COVID-19 no more than 5 days before arriving in The Bahamas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids need that anyway. enjoy your cruise all! Thanks for that. I could've swore I read 5 days or less before arriving in the Bahamas. You just confirmed I was right! (I'm not going bat s__ t crazy). Even with this small "speed bump", it was no biggie. They just send you to another room and give you a rapid antigen test. They e-mail the result. I had my result on my phone in about 15 min. For me, I arrived 4 days before the cruise day, so I arrived on 7/13. My pcr test date was 7/9, which is within the 5 day window. However, as I quickly found out (the speed bump), it has to be 5 days or less from sail date (7/17), so it would have to be a pcr test date of 7/12 or closer to 7/17 (sail date). Since my pcr date was 7/9, it was out of date and not close enough to sail date. But, as I said, it was a small "speed bump". All good now, I'm onboard at the Duck & Dog pub with a cold Blue Moon in front of me; Edited July 17, 2021 by MorganClark 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update for me…front door lady said I could check in at 1:15. Went to the check in lady. She said 1:45 was the earliest. 1/2 hour more.
